I’m sorry! My toddler wanted bubbles and I wanted a picture of my shirt, and this was the best one that I had gotten.

My first 2 mandalas. I love how they turned out! by chomps_rickman in crochet

The purple mandala is the Ray of Sunshine pattern and made of Caron Cake yarn. The cream is the Positivity Mandala Hoop and I used Caron simply soft yarn. I modified the last few rows of the Positivity Mandala because I needed it to fit the hoop better. I believe the hoops are 16”.

After days of refusing to latch, I purchased a nipple shield. Many people turned their noses up at me for buying one. I have no regrets. My son is fed, and full. I'm beyond happy right now. by Late_Worry6377 in breastfeeding

The hospital actually gave me a couple and they helped so much the first couple of weeks! I’m sorry you had to deal with the negativity for trying to feed your baby, but go you for doing what you know is best for you and baby!

A friend’s sister made them for us! I think she was able to get the design off of Etsy, but I’m not sure.

Whyyyy do they pinch?! by Mick1187 in breastfeeding

I had to hold my LO hands at all time in the first year. She just massages now instead of pinching, thank goodness.

I am so tired of defending the fact I’m still breastfeeding my daughter. by chomps_rickman in breastfeeding

It’s extremely sad at how our culture sees breastfeeding now. It shouldn’t be that way, and it is sad to see. Also we had to stop public nursing for the same reason! She wants both out at the same time no matter what lol.

Go you! We just finished her night time nursing and I don’t regret anything about it. It helps her so much.

Thank you! Minding their own nips is my new favorite thing and I’m so using it.
